Abstract
A broadcast signal receiving device includes a receiving unit, a registering unit and a channel selection unit. The receiving unit receives digital broadcast signals including a plurality of sub-channels on each of a plurality of physical channels. The registering unit registers an indicator indicating whether or not each of the sub-channels is an audio channel in an indicator registration region of a channel map, which stores channel map information relating to a correspondence between the physical channels and the sub-channels. The channel selection unit selects the sub-channels based on the channel map information and the indicator stored in the indicator registration region.
